Chapter 499: Chapter 235: New Intelligence: Dark Horse Potential and the Soon-to-Reopen Rusty Tower!

As he pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom while towel-drying his hair, he saw Xu Li lounging at the side of the bed in a rather inviting pose.

"Come on, hubby, let me test your massage skills~"

Xu Li giggled as she beckoned Jiang Tao over, her beautiful eyes full of alluring charm.

"Let me show you another skill first~"

Jiang Tao tossed his bathrobe aside and strode to the bed, pouncing like a hungry tiger.

Accompanied by some suppressed moans, the room’s temperature quickly rose.

The scene inside the room became increasingly unsuitable for children.

These days, Jiang Tao’s constitution had surpassed the human body’s limit of 100 points.

His body’s functions had also improved significantly.

Around the New Year, Xu Li could still match him evenly, with each having wins and losses.

Now, Xu Li was no match for him at all.

Each time, she had to use all her skills just to barely keep up with Jiang Tao.

An hour later...

After rinsing her mouth with the mineral water prepared on the nightstand, Xu Li lay on the bed, enjoying Jiang Tao’s massage.

After just experiencing some intense physical activity, she felt exhausted and nearly falling apart.

Now trying Jiang Tao’s system-level massage, the ultimate soothing sensation from inside out, from soul to body, was intoxicating.

"This feels amazing~"

With her eyes closed, Xu Li fully enjoyed Jiang Tao’s massage, feeling as if she were on cloud nine.

"Hubby, your massage skills are really something."

"I thought you were just kidding, but you actually learned it..."

"No kidding, of course I learned it for real."

Jiang Tao’s large hands roamed over Xu Li’s smooth, jade-like back.

At the same time, he activated her [Deep Sleep Mode] with the system.

The system-level massage skill, combined with the double hypnotic effect of [Deep Sleep Mode].

Xu Li succumbed to sleep in less than 3 minutes.

After finishing the massage, Jiang Tao wiped his hands with a wet tissue and lay down beside Xu Li.

He glanced at the Green Water Ghost watch on his wrist.

It was now 11:58 PM, and in 2 minutes, the intelligence would be refreshed.

"Let’s wait and see!"

Jiang Tao took out his phone and scrolled through it for a while.

When it hit midnight, he activated the system interface with a thought to check the latest intelligence.

[Today’s Intelligence 01]:

You coincidentally met Jiao Jingtong in the elevator yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—

Jiao Jingtong has an extremely high talent for running, sign her early and train her.

She can bring a ten-thousand-fold return for the company in the future!

...

"A ten-thousand-fold return!"

Seeing this first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s eyes immediately lit up.

He instantly recalled the long-legged girl he had encountered in the elevator during the day.

When Jiang Tao saw Jiao Jingtong’s long legs, he had a feeling this girl was suited for running, and was highly talented.

But he didn’t expect that her talent would be recognized by Brother Tongzi.

Which meant her talent was even stronger than he imagined!

The previous person recognized by Brother Tongzi was Jiang Yi’s niece, Jiang An’an, for her acting skills.

After Jiang An’an joined the crew, she also proved herself with her acting skills.

Although the short drama being filmed is her screen debut, her performance has already made many seasoned actors sweat.

"Sign her, we must sign this girl named Jiao Jingtong as well!"

"The company is in the start-up phase, and it’s right when we need to recruit talents. Signing a few talented individuals is not bad either."

Jiang Tao quickly made up his mind.

After analyzing the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao continued to the second one with a thought.

[Today’s Intelligence 02]:

Yesterday, you participated in the first health run event in Ping County and obtained relevant intelligence—

Bai Yulan’s brother, Bai Yucheng, who was kidnapped 30 years ago, also participated in yesterday’s health run.

Bai Yucheng is currently renting near the Midfield Square Home Inn in Ping County.

Helping the Bai siblings reunite will earn you Bai Yulan’s sincere friendship and a cash reward of 880,000.

[Note 1]: Bai Yucheng has been renamed Jia Feng by his adoptive parents.

...

"What on earth?"

"Sister Bai’s brother who was kidnapped 30 years ago? Jia Feng??"

Seeing today’s second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s expression was somewhat astonished.

Jia Feng?

Jiang Tao remembered this name.

Isn’t he the apprentice from the famous duo of internet celebrity runners from Shishi’s running circle?

Jiang Tao had blasted past the master and apprentice during the competition yesterday.

"This...?"

"Is he really Sister Bai’s long-lost brother?"

The intelligence provided by the Daily Intelligence System is certainly real and reliable, without any doubt.

Though it was unexpected, Jiang Tao never doubted its authenticity.

Earlier in the year, Jiang Tao had relied on intelligence from Brother Tongzi to help Zhang Chao find his biological parents.

Zhang Chao had instantly transformed from a poor rural boy to Master Jing.

As per Jiang Tao’s information, Zhang Chao’s parents bought him a four-bedroom apartment over 140 square meters in Beijing’s third ring.

They even got him a Cadillac whose steering often veered towards the bathhouses.

Their family is in that industry, so the car fits his "second generation bathhouse" status.

The last time it was Zhang Chao, this time it is Jia Feng.

Undoubtedly, if Jia Feng could reunite with his sister Bai Yulan, he wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of his life.

Certainly, it would be better for him than following that running streamer Fang Yunpeng.

"Meeting me is your luck; this time, your hard times have finally come to an end, kid."

Jiang Tao secretly thought he should go to Home Inn tomorrow to meet Jia Feng.

This matter benefits Jia Feng, Bai Yulan, and himself.

It’s a win-win-win situation and worth doing.

After looking at the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao continued to the last one of the day with a thought.

[Today’s Intelligence 03]:

You had contact with your old classmate Ji Wei yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—

The unfinished building project Ji Wei bought in Ping County (Shun Ning Prefecture) will resume construction in 2 months and be smoothly handed over by year-end.

The price of this real estate is set to experience a significant increase (3,200 per square meter → 6,400 per square meter), recommendation to buy early.

[Note]: The host can purchase up to 20 units of this project and cannot actively leak this information to others.

...

"Unfinished building project resuming..."

"Price going from 3,200 yuan per square meter to 6,400 yuan per square meter, doubling directly!"

Seeing today’s third piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up again!

There’s no doubt this is yet another high-value piece of intelligence!

Even though the system limits Jiang Tao to buying 20 units, if executed properly, it’s still enough to earn him a fortune!

Assuming the maximum area per unit is 140 square meters, 20 units amount to 2,800 square meters.

At the current price of 3,200 yuan per square meter, nearly 9 million yuan in home purchase funds are needed.

Even adding all kinds of title deeds, acquisition taxes, etc., 10 million yuan should be sufficient.

When the property is handed over at year-end, and prices double,

Conservatively estimated, Jiang Tao could earn six to seven million from this wave of price increases.

"Ji Wei, you are truly my lucky star!"

"After so many years, our first meeting gifts me such a big gift."

"I really must invite you to Sister Bai’s hotel for a nice meal someday."

Thinking about his chance encounter with Ji Wei tonight, Jiang Tao marveled at the wonders of fate.

"Shun Ning Prefecture..."

"I seem to have heard Xu Li’s parents mention that this project has been stalled for seven to eight years."

"I wonder what caused the new construction and smooth handover this time."

"Before returning to Beijing, buy those properties first."

"It might be too late, after all, if others with insider information snap up the housing supply."

After reading the third piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao had already made up his mind.

Shun Ning Prefecture is still listed on Ping County’s "unfinished projects."

In two months, this project will become prime real estate.

Act quickly!

After looking through the three pieces of intelligence today, Jiang Tao activated [Deep Sleep Mode] for himself with a thought. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He put down his phone, turned over, and embraced Xu Li’s tantalizing waist, starting to fall asleep.
